[close] Heartbreak House is a play written by George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1919 and first played at the New York's Garrick Theatre in 1920. According to A. C. Ward, the work argues that "cultured, leisured Europe" was drifting toward destruction, and that "Those in a position to guide Europe to safety failed to learn their proper business of political navigation".
